generalized topoi with LMn algebraic logic classifiers (Topic)

1 Generalized toposes

1.1 Introduction

Generalized topoi (toposes) with many-valued algebraic logic subobject classifiers are specified by the associated categories of algebraic logics previously defined as LMn, that is, non-commutative lattices with n logical values, where n can also be chosen to be any cardinal, including infinity, etc.

1.2 Algebraic category of LMn logic algebras

Łukasiewicz logic algebras were constructed by Grigore Moisil in 1941 to define ‘nuances’ in logics, or many-valued logics, as well as 3-state control logic (electronic) circuits. Łukasiewicz-Moisil (LMn) logic algebras were defined axiomatically in 1970, in ref. [1], as n-valued logic algebra representations and extensions of the Łukasiewcz (3-valued) logics; then, the universal properties of categories of LMn -logic algebras were also investigated and reported in a series of recent publications ([2] and references cited therein). Recently, several modifications of LMn-logic algebras are under consideration as valid candidates for representations of quantum logics, as well as for modeling non-linear biodynamics in genetic ‘nets’ or networks ([3]), and in single-cell organisms, or in tumor growth. For a recent review on n-valued logic algebras, and major published results, the reader is referred to [2].

The category ℒℳ of Łukasiewicz-Moisil, n-valued logic algebras (LMn), and LMn–lattice morphisms, λLMn, was introduced in 1970 in ref. [1] as an algebraic category tool for n-valued logic studies. The objects of ℒℳ are the non–commutative LMn lattices and the morphisms of ℒℳ are the LMn-lattice morphisms as defined next.

Definition 1.1.

A n–valued Łukasiewicz–Moisil algebra, (LMn–algebra) is a structure of the form (L,,,N, (φi)i∈{1,…,n1}, 0, 1), subject to the following axioms:

  • (L1) (L,,,N, 0, 1) is a de Morgan algebra, that is, a bounded distributive lattice with a decreasing involution N satisfying the de Morgan property N(x y) = Nx Ny;
  • (L2) For each i ∈{1,…,n1}, φi : L→L is a lattice endomorphism;
  • (L3) For each i ∈{1,…,n 1},x L, φi(x) i(x) = 1 and φi(x) i(x) = 0;
  • (L4) For each i,j ∈{1,…,n 1}, φi φj = φk iff (i + j) = k;
  • (L5) For each i,j ∈{1,…,n 1}, i j implies φi φj;
  • (L6) For each i ∈{1,…,n 1} and x L, φi(Nx) = ni(x).
  • (L7) Moisil’s ‘determination principle’:
    [∀i ∈ {1,...,n − 1}, φi(x) = φi(y)] implies  [x =  y]

    [12].

Example 1.1. Let Ln = {0, 1(n 1),…, (n 2)(n 1), 1}. This set can be naturally endowed with an LMn –algebra structure as follows:

  • the bounded lattice operations are those induced by the usual order on rational numbers;
  • for each j ∈{0,…,n 1}, N(j∕(n 1)) = (n j)(n 1);
  • for each i ∈ {1,…,n 1} and j ∈ {0,…,n 1}, φi(j∕(n 1)) = 0 if j < i and = 1 otherwise.

Note that, for n = 2, Ln = {0, 1}, and there is only one Chrysippian endomorphism of Ln is φ1, which is necessarily restricted by the determination principle to a bijection, thus making Ln a Boolean algebra (if we were also to disregard the redundant bijection φ1). Hence, the ‘overloaded’ notation L2, which is used for both the classical Boolean algebra and the two–element LM2–algebra, remains consistent.

Example 1.2. Consider a Boolean algebra (B,,,, 0, 1). Let T(B) = {(x 1,…,xn) Bn1x 1 xn1}. On the set T(B), we define an LMn-algebra structure as follows:

  • the lattice operations, as well as 0 and 1, are defined component–wise from L2;
  • for each (x1,…,xn1) T(B) and i ∈{1,…,n 1} one has:
    N(x1,…xn1) = (xn1,…,x1) and φi(x1,…,xn) = (xi,…,xi).
